In depth

Verdict

Stolen Hours, Ardea Brave and King's Fable are three against the field in another tight handicap and the tentative vote is given to Stolen Hours. The selection was a fair fourth behind Pensevey last time out and with this shorter trip looking to be in his favour he looks the value bet in an open affair. Ardea Brave rates the main danger on his latest second behind Celique that form has since been franked but he has had plenty of chances and is becoming hard to win with. King's Fable is another that could go well on his best form but he disappointed for no apparent reason last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence the remainder Serramanna ran well last time and again has conditions to suit but this looks tougher. This is a trappy affair and stakes should be kept to a minimum but for the winner we return to Stolen Hours.
